Letters Patent No. 90,358, dated May 25, 1869.

COOKING-STOVH The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making pan: of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM HAILES, of Albany, in the county of Albany, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Cooking-Stove; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1, sheet 1, is a perspective vicw'of the improved stove, looking toward the rear thereof, with the boiler-holes uncovered and the watem'eservoir removed to expose the flues and dampers in the upper portion of the stove.

Figure 2, sheet 1, is a cross-section, taken centrally through the stove in the vertical plane indicated by red line x in fig. 3.

Figure 3, sheet 2, is a longitudinal section taken through the stove in the vertical plane indicated by red line y in fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

This invention relates to certain novel improve-' ments on that class of cooking-stoves wherein ovens are arranged on opposite sides of the fire-chamber. and the products leaving this chamber are carried off in opposite directions, and conducted over and beneath the ovens before being allowed to escape into the main flue.

The nature of my invention consists- First, in providing a chamber in the flue space of the stove for the reception of a portable water-reservoir, when such chamber is located immediately in rear of the fire-place andbetween the two ovens, in combination with such an arrangement of direct-draught dampers that the products of combustion shall circulate in said reservoir-space whether the said dampers be open or shut, and whether the products are directed around one or both of the ovens, as will be hereinafter explained.

vSecond, in utilizing the space between the ovens and immediately in rear of the fire place, as a chamber for receiving a portable or removable water-reservoir, so that only the top thereof will be exposed above the top plate of the stove, in combination with a rear extension flue-space leading directly out of the said reservoir-chamber, as will be hereinafter explained.

Third, an intermediate warming-closet, in combination with a double-oven stove, and with a water-reservoir flue-chamber, arranged immediately over it, and also with revertible fines on opposite sides of it, as will be hereinafter explaiued.

Fourth, in a novel arrangement of direct-draught and revertible-flue dampers in the top chamber of a double-oven stove, when the fire-placeis arranged between the ovens, and the chamber in rear of the fireplace is occupied by a water-reservoir, whereby either a revertible or a direct draught may be obtained, and when desired the heat can be concentrated about either one of the ovens at pleasure, as will he hereinafter explaincd.

The following description of my improved stove will enable others skilled in the art to understand how to construct and use it.

[n the accompanying drawings- A B B represent the outer walls of the stove.

The top wall or plate 13 is perforated at b b b b and b b for receiving pot-s, griddles, and other culinary vessels, and immediately in rear of the two intermediate potholes b l), or between the two pot-holes b b, is a large elliptical or oblong hole, which is surrounded by a raised flange, 0, and adapted for receiving a waterrcservoir, N, as hereinafter explained,

In rear-of this reservoir-hole the top plate is extended backward, and through this extension a stovepipe hole is made, surrounded by a collar, (1, asshown in figs. 1 and 2.

Directly beneath the two intermediate pot-holes b b is the fire-place C, of which G is the grate, and S the ash-pit.

In this ash-pit I arrange a sieve, P, upon lodges p, and'beneath this sieve is an ash-pan.

The handle 1) of the sieve P passes through the ashpit door B, so that when this door is shut the sieve can be conveniently shaken, and the cinders and unburned coal separated from the ashes without having dust escape from the pit into the room.

On each side of the spaces occupied s fire-place and ash-pit is an oven, 0, which extends from'the front to I the rear walls of the stove.

Between these ovens O -O, and the top, bottom, and side plates of the stove, are flue-spaces, through which the products of combustion may circulate on their way to the escape-flue.

The space surrounding each oven is divided vertically by a plate, F, which extends from the back plate W of the fire-place C, over the oven, at the middle of its length, down one side, and beneath the oven, nearly to a verticalwall, W.

Through that portion of the division-plate F which extends over each oven 0, holes are made, which can be closed by a sliding damper, h, when a direct draught is not required.

When such damper is shufi'and a damper, i, opened the products of combustion will pass from the fire-place 0, directly over the front half of the oven, down one side thereof, thence toward the ash-pit S, and leaving the flue g, the products will pass through the fines g,

around the rear half of the oven, and enter a large flue-space, D, from which they escape through the rear extension D into the main exit-flue.

When the dampers h h and '1'. t are open, the products will pass directly off over the two ovens, into the space D, and out through the escape-flue d.

\Vhen both dampers h hare shut, and dampers it are opened, the products will be divided at the fireplace, and after circulating around both ovens, they will pass into the space I), and from thence escape through the flue d.

If the dampers 72 'l of one oven are shut, and the corresponding dampers h t of the opposite oven opened, the products of combustion will all circulate around the latter oven and pass ofi through the space D.

Thus it will be seen that under all circumstances the space D receives the products before they are allowed to escape.

This space D is arranged directly in rear of the fireplace 0, and is separated from the latter by a single wall, W, so that a large quantity of heat is received intothis space by radiation through said wall, as well as from the products of combustion on their way to the escape-flue, as abovedescribed.

Within this space D, and supported by the flange c of the topplate B, a water-reservoir, N, is arranged, provided with covers n n, and made so that it can be removed at pleasure.

This reservoir is almost wholly within the space D, so that it is not in the way of vessels placed on top of the stove. It extends down nearly to the crown-plate j, and leaves passages all around that portion of it which is below the top plate B for the fiee circulation of the heated products.

Beneath the space D, and between the rear portions of the two ovens 'O O, is a warming-closet, J, which amass is enclosed by plates W W W and B j, and a door, J, and receives considerable heat from the lines g g of both ovens, as well as from the flue-space D and fireplace O. 1

Having described my invention,

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by LettersPatent, is

1; The arrangement of the flue-space D, for receiving a portable water-reservoir, N, immediately in rear of the fire-place G, and between two ovens O 0, substantially as described.

2. The draught-dampers h h and a. z, arranged in flue-spaces g g between ovens O O, and the top plate of the stove, in combination with the depressed flue-space D, and areservoir, N, substantially as described.

3. The extension D, arranged in rear of the space 1), when the latter is between ovens and separated from the fire-chamber O by a single wall, W, substantially as described. I

4. The warming closet J, arranged beneath the space D, directly in rear of the fire-place W, and between ovens, substantially as described. 7
